    See
https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2018/infectious-diseases-related-to-travel/yellow-fever-malaria-information-by-country/argentina#seldyfm879

      
      Basically, 

      
https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2018/infectious-diseases-related-to-travel/yellow-fever#5291
      lists argentina with a footnote: 

      
      ²These countries are not holoendemic (only a portion of
      the country has risk of yellow fever transmission). See Maps 3-14 and 3-15 and yellow fever vaccine
      recommendations (Yellow Fever & Malaria Information,
        by Country) for details.

      
      If you haven't been in these areas, you can probably ignore the
      requirement.  

      
      AFAICT, all of the countries we've gone to/are scheduled to go to
      follow WHO recommendations with respect to vaccines and that's
      what the CDC website appears to be describing.

                Yeah, people from those areas or that have travelled
                them are probably aware of this need, which is why I
                didn’t mention it.

                Of course, the experienced traveller always has their
                yellow fever documentation on hand with their passport.

                (If you don’t have the vaccination already, you may not
                be getting out enough :-)

                
                The brush here may be a bit broad (and what does “have
                travelled” mean?   Last week?  Last decade?), but the
                request is sensible and rather normal.  80 % of the
                IETFers are probably not affected (unless the Argentina
                IETF counts under “have travelled”…).

              
              at that link, 
              

               Following are the countries which are declared
                Yellow Fever Infected Areas.

              44 Argentina: Argentina Republic
              

              So, I, myself, am suddenly curious about how long
                "have traveled" lasts :-) 
              

              (Note that this is not an informed opinion, that I
                have no knowledge of this topic beyond being smart
                enough to click on links Carsten provides, and that, as
                in everything involving international travel, your
                mileage may vary)
